About us
Patios, retaining walls and landscape installs for Brentwood, Franklin and Nashville homeowners
Wilhelm Landscapes & Hardscapes builds patios, walkways, retaining walls and planted beds for homeowners in Brentwood, Franklin and Nashville, and takes on commercial grounds as well. Hunter Wilhelm founded the company as a high school student and ran it through his Landscape Architecture studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Hardscapes are laid in brick, concrete, pavers or natural stone, and most patio and wall projects wrap up in one to three weeks. The company also grades and prepares lots for builders, handles drainage with French and trench drains, downspout lines and dry creek beds, and adds outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pergolas and lighting. Ongoing care, from mowing and edging to mulching and shrub trimming, keeps a finished yard in shape.
Each project starts with a walk of the property, and both the consultation and the detailed estimate are free. It was named a Neighborhood Favorite on Nextdoor in 2024, and one Nashville homeowner picked it from three bids for a retaining wall.

Frequently asked questions
Why does water pool in my yard?
Almost always grading that falls toward the house rather than away from it, compacted clay that will not absorb, or downspouts discharging at the foundation. Middle Tennessee clay soil drains slowly, so water that would soak away elsewhere sits here. The fix is usually regrading, extending downspouts well away from the house, and a French drain or dry well where the water has nowhere else to go.
What does a landscaping project cost depend on?
Hardscape versus planting, access, and how much earth has to move. Plants are the cheap part. Retaining walls, patios and walkways are priced by material and square footage, and their cost is dominated by base preparation and drainage that nobody sees. Access matters more than people expect: a back yard reachable only through a narrow side gate means everything is moved by wheelbarrow.
When is the best time to plant in Middle Tennessee?
Autumn is best for trees, shrubs and perennials — the soil is still warm, rainfall is more reliable, and roots establish over winter without the plant supporting foliage. Spring is the second-best window. Planting in July is the hardest on a new plant and needs the most watering to survive, which is why so much summer planting fails by August.
Do I need a retaining wall or is regrading enough?
Regrading works where the slope is gentle enough to reshape and you have room to move the earth. A retaining wall is for holding a grade change that will not stay put on its own — typically anything over about three feet, or where you need usable flat ground. Walls above a certain height need engineering and drainage behind them; a wall built without drainage will lean or fail, which is the most common failure we get called to fix.
How do I stop erosion on a slope?
Slow the water down and hold the soil with roots. Deep-rooted ground cover, terracing, and directing runoff away from the slope face all work; sod alone on a steep grade usually does not. On Middle Tennessee clay the water sheets rather than soaks, so the priority is intercepting it above the slope rather than trying to armor the bottom.
